Strapless Sensations - PUG Diamond and Orange Lingerie Esplanade

September 24, 2020 by angela gough in Lingerie

As soon as I saw the PUG Diamond Bustier I knew I had to make one. Over the years I have tried a variety of RTW strapless bras and never found one that was either comfortable or a flattering fit so I was keen to try making my own. After success with this I thought it was time to try the Esplanade - the only Orange Lingerie pattern I haven’t made. So here are my two beauties.

Pin-Up Girls Ruby Bra - definitely a jewel accompanied by the Evie La Luve Esme

Always eager to try new patterns I had been following the posts for Beverly Johnson’s Jewel Collection of bra patterns. As usual I get drawn in by a discount so when Fit2Sew, UK distibutor for Bra-makers Supply, launched their new website with 30% discount I stocked up on a few patterns! First up is the Ruby, “an off-set vertical seamed cup for the roundest styling, and a shortened upper cup for maximum lift”. A lot to live up to but, oh boy, no wonder I am obsessed with making lingerie.
